Notes
Born in Geneva in 1957, Antoine Preziuso assembled his first timepiece at the age of 7, finished at the top of his class at the Ecole d?Horlogerie of Geneva, and went on to work for the most prestigious names in Geneva?s haut de gamme horology. This independent creator, who in the image of the traditional Cabinotier pushes himself ever further in his quest of perfection, is a master of the large, mechanical complication. He has created his very own collection to illustrate that it is possible to align watch making tradition and innovative design. Minute repeaters, ornamented with engraved and animated decors, tourbillons, chronographs, and skeletonized watches, are all part of Antoine Preziuso?s tribute to the great craftsmen of the past
